Zero Escape director Uchikoshi will get bizarre with AI: The Somnium Files in July


Why, sure, that may be a polar bear about to noticed an anime woman in half, as a result of that’s what occurs when Zero Escape director Kotaro Uchikoshi is not restrained to the waking world. AI: The Somnium Files is his subsequent game, developed by Spike Chunsoft, and now has a July 26th launch date on PC. It’s a sci-fi thriller that appears vaguely impressed by oddball Jennifer Lopez psycho-thriller The Cell, placing gamers within the footwear of a cyber-psychic detective investigating folks’s goals in addition to crime scenes. Below, a weird new trailer that I wouldn’t attempt to make sense of but.

Gematsu talked a bit with director Uchikoshi and designer Akira Okada at GDC 2019, and he had some attention-grabbing issues to say in regards to the game. While the Zero Escape sequence was a visible novel interspersed with escape room segments, AI: The Somnium Files goals to be “a game mainly for adventure game fans”, suggesting a extra puzzle-heavy time. It doesn’t look to be skimping on the grisly violence that the Zero Escape sequence often descended into both – the game opens with you investigating the homicide of a girl together with her eye gouged out, seemingly with an ice choose.

Also within the vein of Zero Escape, the forged revealed thus far are mismatched oddballs. There’s little identified about protagonist Kaname Date past his cybernetic, dream-diving eye, however they’ve shared some particulars on the remainder of the forged. Iris Sagan, seen with pink hair and cat-ear headphones within the trailer, is the preliminary prime suspect, and is a teen web pop star. Scruffy 20-something author Ota Matsushita is outwardly a part of your investigation crew, together with Aiba, a cuddly-looking eyeball-monster who is outwardly your AI assistant. Of course there’s a mysterious twelve-year-old woman too, as a result of everybody – regardless of how younger – is at equal threat of a grisly demise in Uchikoshi’s games.

AI: The Somnium Files launches on July 26th. You can discover it here on Steam.
